Still watching the presentation, but virtual reality is the medium that will eventually allow for a lot of the things he's talking about.

- bchjam 12y agoVR still lacks good tactile, kinesthetic representations. Not to say it's not a step in the right direction, but it is arguably taking a deeper step into visual-only representation.

- bchjam 12y agoI've never used them personally but I'm sure they do improve the experience. I suppose there's a point at which that's still tricking the human nervous system in ways that a physical model doesn't have to, but haptic VR is also more realistic with today's technology than dynamically self-assembling nanobots.
